Samuel Jonathon Schultz

Samuel Jonathan Schultz, a legal resident of the United States, fears the worst if he is sent back to India, a country he left at age 3 when he was adopted by a West Valley City woman.

The 25-year-old knows little about the nation of his birth, speaks only English and believes he would have to live on the streets there. As a Christian in general, and a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in particular, he believes he will be targeted for persecution. The ICE judge did not agree with that argument. The judge noted that the only way for the Utahn to stay would be to get permission to withdraw both guilty pleas.

Status: unknown, though it appears he was free and still in the US on 06-11-2011
